Hi!

Clozapine (Clozaril) is mainly used for severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia. It is usually very sedating. Regular blood tests are needed. Clozapine has well-established efficacy in schizophrenia resistant to other drugs.

Aripiprazole (Abilify) is a much newer drug. It is less sedating and doesn't cause as much weight gain as clozapine. It effectiveness in severe treatment-resistant schizophrenia is not established.
